I don't know why you want
To start with me
I ain't done nothin' far as
I can see
And I'm worn out from
Workin' too hard
Why don't you give me
A break
I know that lately things
Ain't been so good
I'll make it up just like
I told you I would
But I'm tired and I wanna
Sit down
To ease this ole backache
Ya say you're havin'
Trouble figurin' me
I don't believe I'm such a
Mystery
Baby what you get is
What you see
I am a simple man
I want a job and a
Piece of land
Three squares in my
Fryin' pan
Don't seem so hard to me
To understand
I am a simple man
You say we got some
Things to talk a bout
A lot of problems that
We need to work out
But we just end up fightin'
Why don't you give it a rest
I don't know what else
I can say to you
I'm doin' everything
I know to do
And I can't give you
Anything more
When I'm givin' my best
Ya say you're havin'
Trouble figurin' me
I don't believe I'm such a
Mystery
Baby what you get is
What you see
I am a simple man
I want a job and a
Piece of land
Three squares in my
Fryin' pan
Don't seem so hard to me
To understand
I am a simple man
I want a place
I can lay my head
Soft woman and a
Warm bed
A little time off before
I'm dead
I'm just a simple man
Ya say you're havin'
Trouble figurin' me
I don't believe I'm such a
Mystery
Baby what you get is
What you see
I am a simple man
I want a job and a
Piece of land
Three squares in my
Fryin' pan
Don't seem so hard to me
To understand
I am a simple man
